There is no such thing as structural, systemic or institutional


racism in the US. I have never seen a building that says "United States Institute of Racism." It doesn't exist.

Where are the laws that show a built in structure of racism? They aren't there. Where is the flow chart showing the systemic racism? It doesn't exist.

Some people would use the George Floyd incident as an example of this sort of thing. But my question would be, how did it happen to Tony Timpa? And what about the guy that got shot by the cops in the hotel hallway? He was white. Cops do bad things to all sorts of people.

Of course, that doesn't mean there isn't general racism. It's there, but boy is it getting harder to find. Sixty years ago, I imagine you could just walk out on to the street and see it.

You are right of course. When I make an argument that systemic racism doesn't exist, the libs then say that "you don't believe racism exists", which is not what I said. Either way, racism is at such a low point now that you can't even see it unless you watch the news. And if you watch the news all the time, you would think it's everywhere, until you actually start living your life away from the TV and of course, the Soapbox.
